Welcome to Hedgehog Class
Welcome to Summer term Hedgehogs. This term, we have some very exciting learning.

In History, we will be learning all about the history of toys, before our Geography exploring Zambia.
Our RE learning will lead us to ask the question, how special is the relationship Jews have with God? Before exploring the churches in and around Newbury.
In art, we will be exploring creating texture using paint, before applying our skills to collages, and in DT our knowledge of moving mechanisms will be challenged when we design and create our very own moving monsters!
